Bitcoin ETF inflow streak ends as U.S. spot funds post $263M net outflows ahead of FOMC

U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $263 million in net outflows on Tuesday, ending a nine-day run of inflows just ahead of this week's Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Bitcoin was trading below $77,000 as ETF demand briefly cooled and traders grew more cautious into the Fed decision. Macro and geopolitical risks remain in focus. The broader rally has held, but market conviction is being tested. Analysts said conditions still look constructive, while noting the timing of the flow reversal could be significant.
